What seems inconsistent with good observational results (including not being fried within 10 minutes of sunrise, every day) are the following:

I really haven't followed this thread so please forgive me if my question is something that has already been discussed.
What - in this thread - is meant by a "weak radial electric field"? A quick summary is fine.
The reason I ask is I'm trying to understand the context in which we would be fried after sunrise each day. The Earth's magnetic field protects us from large amounts of radiation generated by the solar magnetic cycle. I'm just looking for some clarification as to what the nature of this weak field is that would be capable of penetrating the normal protection offered by the Earth's magnetosphere.
